How can Cuono Esposito, the husband of Lucia Bianco and son of Pascale Esposito and Rosa di Bouno, die in 1849, and then in 1856 Cuono Esposito, the widower of Lucia di Bianco and son of Pascale and Rosa di Buono, marry Angelarosa Castaldo?

Timelines & details — If Asa Spencer moved to Campton in 1770, why would you assume his children born before then were born in Campton? The birth records, created on 27 December 1905, list the birthplace of the children born after 1770 as Campton, but leave it blank for those born before. #genealogy

I like to randomly write about people buried in the Woodlawn Cemetery, Nashua, New Hampshire, and so far, they have always been a relative according to FamilySearch. However, FamilySearch thinks I’m related to pretty much everyone. yourfamilyquest.substack.com/t/woodlawn-c... #genealogy

I recommend genstackcoterie.substack.com I’m working on my April Substack post. I thought of two ideas to add social history to my April post. GenStack Coterie introduced me to Notion, so I put them there, and now I don’t have to think about it until Monday.

The Shelburne, Chitenden, Vermont, Index to Vital Records is made up of a bunch of index cards. Among them is a Certificate of Birth for my relative. I would have missed out if I had just used the transcript - she is Jeannete May on the certificate and Mary Gennett on the index card. #genealogy

Free until April 11. Robyn Smith did an excellent presentation on adding social history to breathe life into our genealogical writing. #TellTheirStory I made lots of notes on her presentation as she recommended sources I haven't used and new ways to use sources I know. #genealogy

I found this photo when I scanned some negatives. I didn't need to do anything special, I just put the strip on the glass of my Canon Pixma printer/scanner and pressed the scan button for photos. Then I did some cropping and white balance with GIMP and I got a beautiful photo. #genealogy

I'm using more AI-generated images in my work, but my favorite go-to places for images are the Library of Congress www.loc.gov and the Smithsonian. nmaahc.si.edu/object/nmaah... "This Bible kept record of one family's history after slavery." Object 2012.42.12a-g The Ellis family Bible #genealogy

I just got off the phone with the New York State Archives. Their website says it takes 8 months to get a genealogy copy of a death record. It's been 8 months and my check was cashed. Was it lost in the mail? No. It currently takes 36 months to get a genealogy certificate. #genealogy

It always takes me more than one try to get the right AI-generated image from Canva. 1750 woman with spinning wheel — looks like she’s in a ball gown. #genealogy #TellTheirStory

I'm writing about Abel Willey, one of the original proprietors of Campton, New Hampshire. He married Lydia Church in 1778. Was she the sister of Rev. Selden Church? It looks like it, but now to prove it.
